Tuscany and Umbria

About this excursion

(£1189 per person) Join us for an eight day, seven night holiday to a delightful part of Italy which we have arranged with our friends at award-winning Success Tours.

Picture yourself in the heart of hidden Italy amongst the rolling hills and valleys of the breathtaking Umbrian countryside. Take in the sights and enjoy the cuisine on this fabulous trip to Umbria. On this fabulous 8 day trip you’ll get to follow in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi and explore medieval hilltop towns and villages steeped in local history and culture. Enjoy tasting magnificent local wine and olive oil at one of the many local estates and feast on mouth-watering, authentic Italian cuisine in the company of friends at Bruno’s Trattoria. Your tour will also take you into beautiful Tuscany, which for many seasoned travellers, embodies the very best of Italy with its classic pastoral landscapes, beautifully preserved medieval architecture, renaissance art and of course its fine and flavoursome food and wine.
